Martin Jones saw his first action in almost a month as coach Darryl Sutter put him between the pipes for the final two periods Saturday.

Sutter pulled Jonathan Quick after the first in which the Kings were down 2-0 to the Wild. Jones faced only 10 shots and gave up one goal in a 4-1 loss. He has not started since February 27 and with the Kings in a huge battle for the final playoff spot in the West, do not expect to see him in goal in the regular season, barring an injury or the Kings clinching a spot in the post-season.

Martin Jones made 28 saves in the Kings' 4-2 loss to Ducks on Friday night.

The loss has an extra layer of sting as the Kings led 2-0 going into the third period before three unanswered goals on just eight shots, plus an empty-netter. Fortunately, they didn't submit any ground to Calgary who lost in regulation on Long Island. The loss drops Jones' record to 4-4-2 with 25 goals against in a dozen games this season.

Martin Jones is projected to start for Los Angeles on Friday.

It will be Jones' first appearance since Jan. 14. He has a 2.20 GAA and .908 save percentage in 11 games this season. Feb 27 - 4:13 PM

Mike Richards will return to the Kings lineup Monday night after being recalled earlier in the day.

The veteran forward has been in the minors since January 27th and played 16 games with Manchester in the AHL. The Kings are looking for a spark for the final few weeks of the season and will see if Richards is the answer. He had scored just five goals and 15 points in 47 games with the Kings prior to his demotion and is expected to center the third line between Kyle Clifford and Justin Williams.

The nature of Stoll's injury hasn't been revealed, but when talking about it the Kings referenced Alec Martinez's recovery from a concussion. Without any official word coming out of the organization, you can draw conclusions based on that if you so choose. Either way, Stoll is making progress, but there's no timetable for his return.

Jordan Nolan has inked a three-year, $2.85 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Kings.

Nolan was scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer. He has four goals and 27 penalty minutes in 36 contests in 2014-15. He'll continue to serve as a bottom-six forward and is unlikely to develop into a player that will be owned in many standard fantasy leagues.

Kings forward Andy Andreoff and defensemen Jamie McBain and Brayden McNabb are all scratched Monday night in New Jersey.

Andreoff just scored his first career NHL goal three games ago, but has been held off the scoresheet in hist last two games, thereby leading to his scratching. With Mike Richards recalled from the AHL, Andreoff will find himself back in the press box more regularly. McBain has not played a game since February 26th while McNabb just skated in the Kings last game Saturday night. The trio doesn't carry any fantasy value.

Marian Gaborik potted his 23rd goal of the year in Tuesday night's 4-2 win over the Rangers.

It was only Gaborik's third regular season game against his former Rangers club, a team in which he scored 229 points in 255 games with. He now owns a goal and the assist he picked up while with Columbus. For the season, Gaborik now has 42 points in 60 games.

Dwight King picked up a goal for the Kings in their 4-1 loss to the Wild on Saturday night.

King was the only one who was able to beat Devan Dubnyk, scoring 3:20 into the second period on a wrist shot. He has 11 goals and 23 points this season. Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli recorded the helpers.

Pearson thinks he's getting pretty close to returning. However, he probably won't return before the end of the Kings' road trip, which means he'll miss at least three more games. He has 12 goals and 16 points in 42 contests in 2014-15.

Trevor Lewis registered an assist in a 4-1 loss to Chicago Monday night.

Lewis has nine goals and 24 points in 67 contests in 2014-15. That might not be a ton, but it does shatter his previous career-high of 14 points. It's also noteworthy given that the 28-year-old has 133 penalty minutes this season.

Dustin Brown is in a goal scoring slump as he has not scored since February 18.

That's a span of 18 games and he has only two assists in that time frame as well. Once, one of the best power forwards in the NHL, Brown has only 10 goals and 26 points this season and should not be on your fantasy radar at this time.

Jeff Carter scored his team leading 25th goal of the year in a 3-2 overtime loss to Anaheim on Wednesday.

The Kings have struggled to score goals down the stretch but that hasn't applied to Carter personally who has seven goals in nine games. It is the seventh time in 10 seasons that Carter has hit the 25 goal mark. Needless to say, he is a fantasy star just about every year. Justin Williams scored the other goal for LA in a losing cause.

Justin Williams had an assist in a 4-2 victory against the New York Rangers on Tuesday.

Williams has recorded a point in three of his last four contests. He has 18 goals and 38 points in 72 contests in 2014-15. Despite those lackluster numbers, Williams should have a strong finish to the season as the Kings battle for a playoffs spot.

Tyler Toffoli netted a shorthanded goal in the Kings' 3-2 win over the New York Islanders on Thursday.

It was Toffoli's fifth shorthanded marker of the 2014-15 campaign. Despite not having a shorthanded assist this season, he's leading the league in both shorthanded goals and shorthanded points. Overall he has 22 goals and 43 points in 68 contests in 2014-15.

Nick Shore will get to play in front of friends and family on Wednesday night.

Los Angeles will play in Colorado in what will be Shore's 12th game. The Denver native has no goals, two assists and 10 shots in his previous appearances. Shore has averaged just 9:37 of ice time per match with the Kings.

With that, Doughty has reached the 40-point mark for the first time since 2010-11. He also logged 29:56 minutes of ice time on Wednesday, which would be an incredible amount for just about any other player, but is standard for Doughty. He has averaged a league-high 29:21 minutes per contest in 2014-15.

Jake Muzzin stayed hot as he scored the Kings' only goal during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

Muzzin now has points in five of his last seven games, with two goals and five points during that span. He finishes March with three goals and 10 points over 15 games. For the season, Muzzin has nine goals and 38 points, trailing only Drew Doughty by a trio for the most points from the blue line on the team.

There will be no lineup changes to the Kings lineup Monday night so this trio will all watch from the press box. McBain hasn’t played in a game since February 26th and has three goals and nine points in 26 games this year. McNabb has played in 65 games this year picking up a goal and 22 assists but hasn’t dressed since March 21st. And Andreoff has played in just 17 games this year scoring one goal.

Andrej Sekera sustained a lower-body injury during Monday's game against Chicago.

"He fell on my leg, and I felt something went wrong, and that was the night for me," Sekera said. The incident occurred late in the second period. Sekera still needs to be evaluated, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Robyn Regehr practiced on Saturday after it looked like he was hurt during Friday's game.

That's good news for the Kings as they can ill afford an injury to a defenseman. He was hit in the wrist area by a shot. Regehr has a new partner on the blueline as he is playing with the recently acquired Andrej Sekera. Regehr has no fantasy value.

Alec Martinez seems fairly happy with how he's done so far in his return from a concussion.

After missing roughly a month-and-a-half, Martinez returned on Monday and played again Tuesday night. "I think sometimes the second game is actually harder than the first just because you have a lot of energy and you're really excited to be back," Martinez said. "You kind of feed off that adrenaline of not having played in a while, but it was good. I felt a little bit better than I thought I would in terms of my legs and my lungs and all of that. But I think there were a few reads here and there that I could've made better or quicker. There is room for improvement, but all-in-all I felt pretty good." Martinez was logging over 20 minutes per game prior to the injury, but he has averaged just 15:43 minutes of ice time per contest in his two games since returning. That should tick upwards, although he might not fully regain his old role due to the presence of trade acquisition Andrej Sekera.

Brayden McNabb, Andy Andreoff and Jamie McBain will all be healthy scratches in Thursday's game against the New York Islanders.

McNabb is having a decent season offensively. The 24-year-old has one goal and 23 points in 65 games this season. Andreoff, 23, has just one goal in 17 games while McBain has nine points in 26 games. Jarret Stoll will miss the game due to injury.

It was originally supposed to start on March 2, but then it was delayed until March 10 and now it won't begin until April 21. Voynov's lawyer said the latest delay was the result of a "mutual agreement." Voynov is suspended indefinitely by the NHL and is currently facing a charge of corporal injury to a spouse with great bodily injury.

Quick was simply not good, allowing a trio of goals the normally reliable netminder would stop. The loss came at a bad time as the Flames and Canucks won their games, pushing the Kings to three points outside of the Pacific and two points out of the Wild Card. Quick's record now stands at 33-21-12 .916 save percentage and a 2.30 GAA this season.

Martin Jones saw his first action in almost a month as coach Darryl Sutter put him between the pipes for the final two periods Saturday.

Sutter pulled Jonathan Quick after the first in which the Kings were down 2-0 to the Wild. Jones faced only 10 shots and gave up one goal in a 4-1 loss. He has not started since February 27 and with the Kings in a huge battle for the final playoff spot in the West, do not expect to see him in goal in the regular season, barring an injury or the Kings clinching a spot in the post-season.
